Tri-Training

02/01/09 Another ride today 48.53km, 2hrs 1min 54secs, avg23.8km/h, max 65.5, cadence ariund 60 on the hills and 80-90 on the flats and downhills.

Todays ride was a bit slower due to the uphill nature of the ride. Ride included Waikite hill and the Rehi Rd hill. 4 stops due to fatige and lack of breath on the Waikite hill (for those who don’t know it has a fairly daunting hill, people either love it or fear it). Rehi Rd even though approx 8km from end of ride I managed in one hit probably due to the fact although it is as steep as the Waikite it is 1/3 of the length (still a good workout though). 

It was interesting to note that I wasn’t dying to get off the bike at the end of the ride a good sign in  my book.

All in all I was fairly pleased with the ride even though the weather wasn’t marvellous (rained for approx 1/2 ride), took things a bit cautiously due to wet road and skinny  tyres.
